Suffering WOmanhOOd.

Too much effort can not be made to bring to the attention of suffering womanhood the great value of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegeta- ble Compound remedy for the diseases of women. Such an one is the wife Of Gen. eral Barringer, of Winston, N. C., and we quote from the Generals letter as follows: "Dear Mrs. PinkAam: Please allow me to add my testimony to the most excellent medicinal qualities of your Vegetable Con- pound. Mrs. Barringer was treated for several years for what the physician called Leucorrhoea and Prolapsus Uteri com bined. sent her to Richmond, Va, where she remained for six months under the treatment of an eminent Physician without any permanent benefit. She was induced to try your medicine and after reasonable tune commenced to improve and is now able to attend to her business and consid- CTS herself fully reliered."

Lethargic Class of People. Who Require
 a Stimulus From Without.
 Church festivals, marriages, christen- ings, burials and fairs leave only 200 days in the year for the Russian laborer. The climate is so severe as to prevent out-of-door work for months, and the enforced idleness increases the natural disposition to do nothing. We are a lethargic people. " says Gogol, "and re- quire stimulus from without, either that of an officer, a master a driver. the rod, or vodli Ca white spirit distilled from corn), and this," he adds in another place, whether the man be peasant, sol- dier, clerk, sailor, priest, merchant, seigneur or Prince" At the time of the Crimean war it was always believed that the Russian soldier could only be driven up to an attack, such as that of Inkerman, under the influence of in- toxication. The Russian peasant is in- deed a barbarian at very low stage of civilization. In the Crimean hospitals every nationality was to be found among the patients, and the Russian soldier was considered far the lowest of all. Stolid. stupid, hard, he never showed any gratitude for any amount of care and attention, or seemed. in- decd, to understand them; and there was no doubt that during the war he continually put the wounded to death in order to possess himself of their clothes.-Ninetee'sth Century.

 When there is no rocky stratum near the surface, the drive well is an excel lent means of securing plentiful sup. ply of the best water. A good drive well with two-inch pipe can be driven forty feet, and furnished with good iron pump, for about twenty dollars.

It can hardly be otherwise, when it has soaked down through the manure all about the we'll Animals will drink such water-when choked right to it. but no more than they are actually obliged to. The fine instinct of the ani- nal rebels against such water, but the superior reason and judgment of man tIiumphs over mere brute instinct.
 The water from such a surface well is at about the freezing point in win ter. The deep well has a much more natural and uniform temperature-al- ways considerably above freezing. The surface well can. of course. be sunk at considerably less expense to the farmer, as he can do all the work him. self. He can sink a board or plank curb, or if stone are handy, stone is put up without much outlay. The principal investment is for cheap wooden pump. This fact probably ac- counts for the prevalence of these sur face wells. It is the old story of ill directed economy.
 All animals will do much better with plenty of good, wholesome water, of a temperature considerably above freez- ing. Stock fatteners fully appreciate this fact.

 Now know that there are many sec tions of country similar in the water supply to my own, and do not doubt that the management runs pretty much the same that it does here. The farmer in any such country, who can obtain an abundant supply of the best water for his stock by going down to the depth of thirty or forty feet with drive well, will certainly find it stroke oi economy to do so. am satisfied thNt the few dollars, necessary investment needed to work this improvement will soon come back to him in the shape oi increased gain in condition of stock" " D.

A NEW MANIA.

The ck-Walking Craze Ireval1ln; |;
 Among DwelIers ar the National Capi- tai.
 There are several members of Congress who have what is known as the crack walking craze. Not one of these men would step upon crack in a days walk unless obliged to do so by the presence of brick sidewalk. They will walk from the Capitol and go the entire length of Pennsylvania avenue, as far as the Treas ury Department, and not step on single crack. There is a certain scientific man here whose name is known all over the world. Knowing him to be crack-walk- CT, the Boston Telegrdm correspondent asked him how the habit became fixed upon him.
 After being assured that his name would not be given, he replied: 'I have had this crack-walking habit for twenty years. In the first place, I started, just for fun, to see if I could avoid stepping on crack going a certain distance. I found that I could, and I made up my mind to keep it up for that day. As had cer- tain amount of walking to do, at first this craze was a sort of pleasant diver sion, then it became a settled habit. l have tried to break it up time and time again, but it has such a hold on me that I presume will remain a crack-walker to the end of my days. There is one peculi- aritv about crack-walking and that is, that if l should happen by accident to step on crack, it would upset me for the day. Whenever I have done this always go back and step over the crack. can't tell why do it, but do. Several times l have made up my mind to go right ahead and forget all about my misstep on my way to the office but couldn't I have even sat here for two hours in a nervous terror trying to overcome the feeling and at the end put on my coat and hat and walk down the street to step over the hateful crack. I know others that are as badly afflicted as 1 am. They are all peo- pie of highly nervous temperaments."

How to Use the Crumbs.

The executive ability required to sue. eessfully balance the needs of the bread jar may not be given to every woman, but she may at least see that none is wasted. If pieces have &C., eumulated, dry them crisp and brown them in the oven and use them for the the stufing of fowls. or the basis of q pudding or for griddle cakes, If a half loaf or a whole one is too stale to be relished on the table set it in the steamer over kettle of boiling water and send to the table on a hot plate, covered with a napkin, or after pour- ing enough water over it, set it in a covered pan in the oven and let it re- main until the superfuous moisture has evaporated and the bread is really steaming. This should be an oHcasion- al dish only, as no one likes it many times in succession. Slices of stale bread may be dipped in egg and fried brown in butter like an omelet.-D tr0it Tribune.

THE eARElElp FAMILY.
A Glimpse at the Handsome Home a
 Mentor and It's Occupants

i A Glimpse at the Handsome Home d Mentor and Its Occupants
 In five years there have been many
 notable changes in the Garfield family.
 There have been no deaths, but the
 children of whom the father was so
 fond have grown up. The two older
 boys have begun course in the Co.
 lumbia College Law School, and Harry,
 the elder, has been teaching in some
 Eastern school. Both are graduates of
 Williams College. James R. Garfield
 has been studying law with Judge Boynton in Cleveland, and is looked
 upon by friends of his father as the son most like him in every way.
 He has his fathers size, complexion, eyes and manner. Both sons are now men, and have, it is said, great am- bition. Miss Mollie, the only daughter, is now 8 young woman taller than her mother, and has about finished her studies. The two younger sons, Abram and Irwin-the latter named for General Irwin Mcdowell old enough to enter school on the Hud- son, and left home for their duties there recently. They had never been away from home alone before.
 Since the preliminary education of Abram and Irwin Tn the Cleveland public schools the mother has had no further desire to live in a city. She has ordered her mansion in Cleveland sold and has decided to make her future home in Mentor. She has here added to the modest frame house of her husband "Queen Anne" structure which cost $90,000. It is the most im- posing home Tn the country, although the new part is behind and wholly sub- servient to the old house in which the President lived. This still remains the head and front of the Garfield home, although remedeled to conform with the addition. A $3O,000 addition to 5000 house is curiosity in modern architecture, but sentiment for the past and its illustrious. dead inspired it. There are probably sixty rooms in both new and old houses. They rs all furnished in modern style and with considerable elegance, and there is an air of aristocracy about the interior which Garfield did not know in his owu home. Although the house is far in the country it has all the conveniences of a city home-in plumbing, gas-fit- ting and steam-heating.
 A natural gas well has been bored on the farm, and the yard is kept lighted day and night. The main entrance is through the old house. In the hall facing the door is "Grandma" Gar fields old wall-sweep clock, which her husband brought home just sixty years ago. It is still the standard time'' of that house, and keeps on ticking just as it did when the President was born. To the left is the smoking room, which is a lounging room for the family, James being their only one who smokes To the right is the old parlor, now reception room, and rich Tn relics of the dead. It was once his study. Bibles and other books are upon the tables, and the furniture is much the the same as when the family left for ashington. World.

The counsel in- sisted, and the witness said: II appeal to your Lonneur-if it is a propair kest9on. 7" The judge ruled that the question was a proper one and must be answered, and thereupon the witness, with utter uncon' seriousness of his blunder, said (convul. sing the crowded court with laughter): T deaffair from your honueur-if it is not a proper kesteon; for if say no dee eyes of de whole court is upon me; if say yes, ] tell lieP'

A few years ago 0 little book fell into Dur hands, recot1nting the experience of a certain prominent business man, from which it appeared that, as with most Americans, too close attention to business had broken his health The doctor said he could not live. He then stated that he used certain article which effectually cured him, and "out of gratitude for his own re- covery he determined to devote a portion of his fortune to spreading it's merits be- fore the world4'
 As we read it we saidi ''This is evi- dently shrewd expression Of commeFs cial motive; it sounds well; it reads welli but many peop,e will not believe 1t"
 In few years, however. that man got famous th5 world over. He gave several hundred thousand dollars to astronomical research, and hls name became a house. hold word in nearly every home in the United States.
 Hundreds of thousands of people to-day, without reservation, say that to this man alone they owe their lives.
 If ten men are collected together the chances are that if one man accidentally refers to Warner's safe cure seven of them will be able to tell, from their own experi- ence or from the experience of their friends, of marvellous results which that remedy has wrought
 Nothing has ever been put on the market, we are told, the sale of which has been so RT6db anu hCpb up SO WOutlcI1ullgY duA bulo alone is evidence that merit is at the bot tom of its popularity.
 In our files we find many an advertise ment from thlS house. Some people have believed, have used and have been cured :; others have disbelieved, have not used, and died.
 The manufacturers have stated, as the result of their most careful investigations, that the condition Of the kidneys is the key to health, and that they know if the kid neys are maintained in health by Warner's safe cure, ninety-three per cent. of diseases would disappear.
 The uric acid, or waste of the system, left in the blood, by what may be called constipated kidneys, blocks up the system and carries disease to every organ.
 This statement, made time and time again, is so full of sense that it is now &C., cepted as a scientific truth by insurance companies who reject millions of risks every year if there is the least inactivity of these organs.
 The public is tired of the wrangles of this school and of that school, and it is quick to recognize anything that has such conceded merit, and on thiS ground alone can we account for it's extraordinary sales and popularity.

Shaved with Pumice Stone.

'Ever hear of man shaving himself with a pumice stonei' asked an Ogden avenue barber of Chicago Herald re porter. 'sThere is carpenter over here on Jane street who has not touched his skin with razor for six months, yet his face is always as smooth as woman's. Three times week he sits down upon the bench in his shop, and with 6 piece of pumice stone held tightly between his index finger and thumb, he will slowly rasp the stubble of his chin and chops He says he can shave himself in this manner in half the time it would require him with razor Talk about there being any money in a barber shop! It's all bosh. It won't be long before men will be shaving them selves with sponges, and cutting their hair with an egg beater."

How the Drummer Is Educated.

There is legend to the effect that the agents are made to practice their elo- quence upon wooden dummy set up for the purpose in the back offices of the agencies. They imagine the figure before them to be that of the most unimpressible Of their customers, and harangue with the vehemence of au Antony and the pertinacity of Demosthenes. After they have worked themselves into such fine frenzy that the precipitation rolls down their faces and their voice rasps like a saw on the nall, they are considered eff cient and are sent out on a commission to invade the homes of America with theil wares.

The Proper Study of Mankind is Man." says the ilfustrious Pope. IT he had in cluded woman in the list, he would have been nearer the truth, if not so poetical. Dr. R. V. Pierce has made them both a life study, especially woman, and the peculiar derangements to which her delicate sys- tenn is liable. Many women in the land who are acquainted with Dr. Pierce only through his "Favorite Prescription" bless him with all their hearts, for he has brought them the panacea for all those chronic ail- ments peculiar to their sex; such as leucor- rhoea, prolapsus and other displacements, Liberation, "internal fever," bloating, tendency to internal cancer, and other ail- ments.
